on the road to recovery...

well i made it thru my gallbladder surgery just fine. dr. s said i had a pretty diseased gallbladder and it definitely needed to be removed. on tuesday i just drifted in and out of pain med-induced sleep. the funny thing was my shoulders and neck hurt. i wonder if i struggled during the surgery or maybe in recovery. i faintly remember the nurse telling me in recovery to lay back and relax. i know my mouth was dry and i wanted some water. i was probably trying to get up and get some...lol.

i had the best nurses and pca's you could ask for. they were all very attentive and made me feel at ease. they made sure i didn't want for anything and kept making sure i wasn't hurting. in the middle of the night, ann came and gave me a wonderful dose of percocet that sent me right back into peaceful, painless sleep.

overall the pain hasn't been that bad. i've taken a darvocet to go to sleep tonight but otherwise i have been using otc pain reliever. i feel sure i'll be up and around for work on monday.

i'm going to get up with janelle in the morning and see her some. she's been pretty busy this week even with it being the 1st week of school. she is in so many clubs and has officer duties with some of them. luckily she gets out of school early so she can have some free time to herself.

well, i'm going to go now. i'm sleepy and need to lie down and let the darvocet take over...lol.

kisses....

p.s. thanks, donna for your kind words! i wish i had been able to go to stitch nite and meet you. hope you had a good time!!
